absolute shite. I actually didn't want us to score in injury time. 1pt, 2 injuries and another crap performance. On the bright side Spuds lost, Villa drew andEboue is injured.

If you're going to play Bendtner, don't fucking drop the only good player we've had in the last 2 months :x

We created nothing going forwards, rubbish.

At least Eboue is injured. Let's hope it's terminal.

ebouè playing in starting XI as offensive-centre-midfielder, merson&bergkamp like, is an insult to Arsenal Fans! absolutely is total non-sense choose.. arsenal dominated the game but a well-organized defensive play by hammers could evitate the defeat to the dwarf zola...adebayor is still sleeping, nasri when play in left useless put him on centre when all players are behind midfield area and he won't get a single chance to find spaces, diaby seems to me playing well but he doesn't get final part of his action, always less something to the next step forward...not more decisive, bendtner on wide-right useful as me piloting a 747 boeing...how long we must see THAT #27? carlitos vela sub bring more trust and sprarkling to all his teammates, he isn't a world superstar footballer but better than that sh!t ebouè

the boss needs to strengthen before the window closes, if he fails to do so and we dont anything, then questions will need to be asked of him

That was pathetic. Adebayor is playing his way out of the team but I dont think Wenger will drop him, hes absolutely shyte. We are not ruthless enough in front of goal. Im absolutely sick of spending my week's wages to go over to England and see an average team try and scrape out a 1-0 win week in week out. i.e Wigan, Portsmouth, Bolton and today... But we didn't break through today. And what the hell was Wenger doing with RVP? Saving him for Cardiff? If he was then we dont deserve to be a top 4 club. Im really tired of this. I said Arsenal will have no problem with 4th, I really dont know anymore.

Wenger and Adebayor... Get your fingers out and wake up.

I did travel over and if I am honest I never was so downhearted going to a match in my life and yes I know we were bad back in the 80's. Of course when I actually get into the ground and I discover that wenger has dropped rvp and djouru then I just about lose the will to live :( Is wenger on a 1 man mission to derail us and put us back to where we were before his arrival ? Is this some kind of revenge attack for the sacking of his buddy DD ?

Anyway onto the match itself and I have to say that in the first 25 minutes eboue and nasri were the only threats we had (yes eboue !). However after that we seen the usual eboue crap in the next 15 minutes and it was a blessing when he was subbed but why switch nasri from the wing where he was looking dangerous to put flat footed bedtner out there ? I have seen aeroplanes turn faster than the big dane :shock: Then in the 2nd half when we do get a run of steam up he (wenger) decides to fcuk things up again by taking off bedtner (who was beginning to get going) and move nasri yet again this time onto the right wing ! Why :?: :?: :shock: I have said it before and will say it again....the great man has lost his magic and his vision is totally gone :(

This is a club in decline, big style.

Wenger appears to have lost it altogether, RVP and Djourou on the bench?!

Eboue simply has to go, he can't beat a man, his forward passes to Bendtner today were hospital balls, he deliberately hides, doesn't track back, offers nothing. He dived three times today when he simply ran out of ideas. Enough is fuckin enough.

Nasri was tearing Neill a new one then got switched.

Bendtner was at least 'showing' when up front yet got put right wing.

Adebayor doesn't appear to give a fuck and not taking the dollars offered for him last summer is looking more and more like the worst decision Wneger ever made.

Diaby done alright today i thought, although his final ball and decision making is shocking, hope the injury aint too bad.

Denilson aint a centre midfielder and to be honest i'm not sure where his best position is.

Defence had fuck all to do but Sagna and Clichy at least got forward. Gallas tidied up what little he had to tidy up.

Almunia spent all afternoon trying to keep warm.

All in all a load of shit really.

We need Arshavin badly but why would he want to join.

Changes are needed, either board or management level. Like i said in the summer the board and Wenger's relationship is too cosy.

Worrying times for Arsenal FC. :cry:

utter, utter shite today - no commitment, passion or desire to win the game.

For the first time in ages Villa slipped up by "only" getting a draw and we failed to capitalise on it.

We deserve to win nothing this year.

Augie, that is spot on. You just summed up everything I was thinking at the time. Nasri was taken out of the game and whilst it was a good idea to have him off the front, the team kept playing out wide and deeper than he could get access to the ball. Wenger should have put Diaby more forward and had Nasri pick it up in the middle.

Bendtner, whilst not amazing certainly picked up the 10 mins before he got subbed.

I left today scratching my head, to the tune of West Ham singing 60,000 muppets. Sahmeful really. :oops: :oops:
